Things that make me happy!


 I am in a really good mood right now!

Those are things that make me happy on that Sunday morning
(despite the rainy weekend we have here in Montréal!):

  • The new sundresses I purchased at Forever21 and HM!
  • Coffee! (It's only 10h30am and I've already had 3 cups!!! Hum!!!) 
    • Walking! I love to walk in my neighborhood!
    • My hair! My highlights look awesome today!
    • Books! I have not read for fun in a long time and this morning, I started a new novel!
    • Movies on TV! National Lampoon European Vacation (1985) was on TV this morning and I just love Chevy Chase movies!
    • My boyfriend! I saw him this weekend for about 1.5 days and it was great to see him for the first time in three weeks! In one week, we will be together again! Can't wait!

    Have a great Sunday everyone!

    Miscellany Monday!


      • This week is a short week for me because we have a long weekend! Friday is June 24th, and that day is Québec National Holiday what we called St-Jean-Baptiste! (Click here to learn more!) I will probably be heading to Québec city to celebrate with my boyfriend and some friends! There is always a big party on the Plaines d'Abraham (Battlefields Park) in Québec city with Québec musicians, I have been to that  big celebration 2 times (last year and in 2009) and it's just insane!                                                                                                                        
                This is a picture of what it looks like when there is no people there (it's bigger in person!):

      And this is a picture on Québec's Day, with thousands of people, I'm talking about 250 000 people who get there to celebrate and that are so proud to be Quebecers on that special day!!:

      • My work contract ends on June 30th! So it means that I only have 6 more days of work until then!

      • Today is my grandma 86th birthday! And it is also my grandparents 58th anniversary! Wow!!!

      • I have applied to a job yesterday and I hope to have some news soon!

      • I did a little bit of shopping last week at Forever21 and I bought that cute dress for only 17$ :
      • I also bought a formal dress (purple) that I'm going to wear at a wedding in August! I bought it at Les Ailes de la Mode (79$) but I don't have any picture for now! 

       Have a great week everyone!!!

      Busy Bee!

      I'm sorry for the lack of posting but I have been so busy in the past few weeks! I have not read blogs in a while! Can you believe that it is already June people?!?! Summer is here! It is so warm in Montréal these days (around 30 degrees Celsius), I'm not used to that kind of weather! (In my hometown, it is not that warm, even in July and in August!)

      I work around 34 hours per week marking French dissertations and I'm exhausted! It takes a lot of concentration to get that done! Most of the students are so bad at writing, I can't believe those are going to be university students in the Fall!

      4 more weeks to go!

      I love my new team of coworkers, I have made a few friends! Montréal people are nice, but some of them are kind of weird... Very self-center! Some of them just think that Montréal is the center of the universe and don't know anything about other cities in Québec!

      I feel happy right now because this past weekend, the boyfriend and I were able to see each other for one  short day (well, we were together less than 24 hours, like 20 hours!) in Québec city (2.5 hours away from Montréal), but it was so great to see him! I missed him so much! We had a great time together, we rented a hotel on Friday night and on Saturday morning, we went for a fabulous breakfast at a restaurant named Cosmos (on Laurier Bld in Québec), it was so good! I had one big crepe with ton of fresh fruit and it was so delicious! We did a little shopping in the afternoon (for him that time!) and it was already time to say goodbye, I had to catch my bus back to Montréal at 5h00pm. I was sad to say goodbye to him but it's not forever!

      I love being in Montréal but without him, it's not that much fun!

      I have also been dealing with some troubles with my computer, not fun ones! I got scammed! :(  I will talk about that later!

      I will be back soon!

      Have a great week!
